There’s abundant evidence that exercise and a healthy diet can help prevent people from getting cancer. The latest information shows that exercise for cancer patients can also keep cancer from recurring .Several recent studies suggest that higher levels of physical activity are associated with a reduced risk of the cancer coming back, and a longer survival after a cancer diagnosis. CorpFit works with the patient and treating practitioners to maximise the health and wellbeing of Cancer patients.
